Cloud-based Virtual Workstation for Artists Using 3D Software

The user, an oil painter, wants to use demanding 3D software (Blender, Character Creator, Marvelous Designer) for art references but is limited by an old computer's lack of storage and potentially processing power. They are also 'not very tech oriented,' highlighting a need for simplicity. Their idea of running software from a USB drive is a workaround for hardware limitations, which a comment confirms would severely impact performance. This reveals a niche market of traditional artists who want to integrate powerful 3D tools but lack the technical expertise or financial means for high-end local workstations. A SaaS solution could provide pre-configured, high-performance virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud with these applications pre-installed. Artists could access these powerful environments remotely, eliminating local hardware constraints, simplifying setup, and providing scalable resources on demand.
